Microstrategy’s executive chairman and co-founder, Michael Saylor, announced that the company achieved a 2025 YTD yield of 1.69%. Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that the company now boasts a Bitcoin Portfolio of 461,000 Bitcoin valued at $47.46 billion. The data also shows that the average purchasing price of each Bitcoin owned by Microstrategy is $63,610. Bitcoin Treasuries also show that the company has hit a profit of 61.84%.
Microstrategy adopted Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset back in 2020 to boost shareholders’ value. The company’s stock is trading at $396.5 as of Monday, 20th, 2024. On January 14th, Michael Saylor announced that its operations in the previous week resulted in a BTC gain of 1,440 and a BTC yield of 0.32% vs. 447,470 BTC at $96,000 per Bitcoin. The tally showed that the company created shareholder value worth $138.2 million.
The company’s shareholders have decided to approve an amendment that increases authorized Class A common stock from 330 million shares to 10.3 billion shares. MicroStrategy’s shareholder vote is likely to have been influenced by Michael Saylor’s substantial voting power of approximately 46% through his Class B shares.
Since the shareholders support the proposal, Microstrategy’s 21/21 plan of raising $42 billion over three years through share issuances and debt sales to support extensive Bitcoin acquisitions will come true. After the company announced the plan, it increased its Bitcoin purchase frequency, reaching almost halfway to its intended target in less than three months.
Microstrategy inspires Bitcoin adoption for companies in and out of the U.S.
Microstrategy’s approach to Bitcoin has inspired other companies in and outside the U.S. to adopt the same move to boost shareholders’ value and curb inflation. Last year, a U.S. company called Solidion Technology followed Saylor’s footsteps and added the digital asset to its books through an undisclosed purchase.
Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet adopted Bitcoin in its books on May 13th, 2024, amid the yen slump. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, the firm has 1,762 Bitcoin in its custody, with its most recent 619.7 Bitcoin purchase dated December 23rd. The company spent close to $60 million to complete the purchase and has a floating profit of 34.35% at the time of this publication. In the meantime, Bitcoin has dipped by 2.86%, shedding its seven-day gains to 7.14%. The digital asset is exchanging hands for $103,603 as of this writing.
U.S.-approved spot Bitcoin ETFs have also increased their Bitcoin holdings. The Exchange Traded Funds registered inflows worth $1.08 billion on 17th January, according to data from U.S. spot ETF tracking website Sosovalue. The inflows marked a three-day streak of positive inflows that commenced on January 15th. The ETFs hold more than $121 billion in Bitcoin, equivalent to 5.85% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
